6 Assessing productive and interactive skills Personal refl ection

particular concrete situations.
Shows only limited control of a 
few simple grammatical 
structures and sentence 
patterns in a memorised 
repertoire.
Can manage very short, 
isolated, mainly pre-packaged 
utterances, with much pausing 
to search for expressions, to 
articulate less familiar words 
and to repair communication.
Can ask and answer questions 
about personal details. Can 
interact in a simple way but 
communication is totally 
dependent on repetition, 
rephrasing and repair.
Can link words or groups of 
words with very basic linear 
connectors such as ‘and’ or 
‘then’.
